**This might be US only**

First let me say that this isn't a spam post. I posted this in the Breath of the Wild OT, but that thread is dead and this deal seems to apply to more than just game strategy guides and it's a good deal.

So Wario64 posted on Twitter that if you sign up for Audible's free 30-day trial through Amazon, you get 3 free books (1-book is physical and the the other 2 books you get through audible). Based on comments from the Twitter thread, I think you have to be a Prime member (PRIME not required!) and it has to be your first time signing up for Audible's free trial, but it's worth a shot. Wario posted it as being a deal for the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Deluxe Edition guide, but it works with other books too, so search around if you're not interested in the guide. Also, you can cancel your free trial after ordering the 1 free physical book and you might not see the discount applied until you hit "Proceed to Checkout".

Here's a list of books that the deal might work on besides the Breath of the Wild guide:

[Dyle]

Picked up the art of Splatoon with this, sweet deal

 

[rjinaz]

Sweet. By th way, Prime IS NOT required.

Also I did a trial before, like in 2015. I was eligible for this one too.

 

[Hubbl3]

Picked up the art of Splatoon with this, sweet deal

Nice! I ended up grabbing the BotW Deluxe Edition guide, but when I placed my order I didn't realize it applied to other books :/ . Haha, I think I'm just gonna toss it up on eBay and then use the money to get a book on Python programming

Sweet. By th way, Prime IS NOT required.

Awesome! Updated the OP

 

[Miker]

I got the Mega Man 25th anniversary book (out of stock but can still be ordered). It’s 432 pages of Mega Man history! Too bad it’s the soft cover version.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Dang it doesn't apply to my account. I guess I must have done a free trial before or something.

Shoot.

 

[Narag]

Thanks for the heads up. I've wanted the Planetary omnibus for a while now, even toyed with the idea of ordering this weekend but now I'm glad I held off.

 

[Cptkrush]

If you don't see the deal, just hard refresh until it pops up for you. I was able to get it to show up after two or three refreshes.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Oh, Blood, Sweat and Pixels? Nice.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Might as well put on here that this appears to not be a thing in the UK store, so I assume it's US exclusive?

A free copy of the DnD 5E PHB would have been nice... ah well.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Hyrule Historia is compatible with this promotion.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I can't get the deal to show up

 

[GraveRobberX]

Any comic book omnibus besides planetary?

 

[Salarians]

Can also confirm Prime is not required for this, I actually signed up for a Prime trial with this for the free shipping.

Anyone else not having their Audible trial showing up on the website? I'd like to cancel it now but it says I don't have a membership.

 

[OrionsNebula]

I can't get the deal to show up

Me either. I have never used Audible before so there is no way I did the trial before.
When I go into my account details it says I have two Audible credits, although I can't get it to work on any of the books people have been suggesting.

 

[snap]

lord of the rings also counts

also terrible old games you've probably never heard of

 

[Hubbl3]

Might as well put on here that this appears to not be a thing in the UK store, so I assume it's US exclusive?

Oh man, I didn't realize it was regional. Thanks for the heads up though, I through the disclaimer in the OP

 

[Verelios]

Wish I saw MegaMan worked before getting a second FE Iris. Guess I can always just give it away as a present.

 

[Hydrus]

Thank You OP! Does this work on any song of fire and ice/ game of thrones stuff?

 

[snap]

what happened by hrc

Thank You OP! Does this work on any song of fire and ice/ game of thrones stuff?

game of thrones

i assume it also works on the rest of the asoiaf stuff

 

[Kevin]

Anyone try any of the really expensive books? I saw a hardcover book for like $2500. lol

 

[Rootbeer]

Does it not work on pre-orders?

Can't get it to work with The Last Jedi Art Book

 

[Verelios]

Does it not work on pre-orders?

Can't get it to work with The Last Jedi Art Book

Nope, don't think it does

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Worked for Goodnight PunPun Vol.1 (Manga) for me.

 

[Hydrus]

what happened by hrc



game of thrones

i assume it also works on the rest of the asoiaf stuff

Thanks. I want the whole set, but its not working.

 

[tm24]

Hmm, weird, the D&D player handbook isnt free for me, but the DM guide is.

On the other hand, the Planetary Omnibus for free is a fucking steal

EDIT: Weird, now the player handbook works for me

 

[Dongs Macabre]

.

 

[OrionsNebula]

I'm guessing this doesn't work in Canada?

I have been trying so far to get it to a Canadian address and no dice. Although when I put in an American address it also does not work either...

 

[Eggbok]

The Art of Horizon Zero Dawn worked for me.

 

[AlexFlame116]

I wonder if I can make a new account for this...

I guess that wouldn't be right though.

 

[super-famicom]

I posted about this in the Art Book thread on Gaming side. Someone outside the US was able to get it to work.

 

[Josh378]

How do you tell which book it works for?

 

[Rootbeer]

Star Wars fans, I suggest:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1452138052/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[GraveRobberX]

How do you tell which book it works for?

It should have the audible header above it

Like take this book free, here's how
If it doesn't and has a handy man pic, no good


Looks like Planetary it is, no other good omnibus I found

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I wonder if I can make a new account for this...

I guess that wouldn't be right though.

I tried to do this just because it won't work on my main account and it still doesn't work

 

[Hydrus]

I coudlnt get game of thrones collection, but I go this instead:


The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones


https://www.amazon.com/dp/0553805444/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[super-famicom]

How do you tell which book it works for?

View a hardcover book under $50 that is shipped and sold by Amazon. You'll see a banner advertising the promo at the top of the page. Click on that and agree to sign up for the promo. In a few minutes (at least for me), you'll receive an email from Amazon letting you know that the promo will automatically be added when you add an eligible book to the cart and check out. It doesn't have to be for the book you voted when you clicked in the banner.

Here's the terms and conditions:

[Like the hat?]

Wahoo, got that BOTW deluxe guide free.

 

[Josh378]

I added the zelda book but when I tried to add the deathnote, they charged me for it.

 

[whiteninja]

I noticed ff ultimania vol 1 on the list. This works even though it's a pre order?

 

[Cptkrush]

Couldn't decide between the Shining and The Name of the Wind, but both of those hardcovers work for this deal.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Ordered The Planetary Omnibus, lets read that Hardcover, 900 pages book

Excited!

$50 to $0.00 charged, amazing!

 

[super-famicom]

I noticed ff ultimania vol 1 on the list. This works even though it's a pre order?

It doesn't work on pre-orders. But the promo is valid for 30 days after signing up for it. If the book releases before your promo expires, I believe you can order it once it's available and still get the promo applied. I was going to do this for the Overwatch art book which is out 10/24 but I got the Yoshitaka Amano book instead.

 

[Josh378]

Now how to cancel this?

 

[super-famicom]

Now how to cancel this?

To cancel the Audible trial? Your should receive an email from them about the trial, there's a link in there for how to cancel.

 

[pariah164]

Now how to cancel this?

What I'm waiting for.

To cancel the Audible trial? Your should receive an email from them about the trial, there's a link in there for how to cancel.

Aaaand ninja'd. Thanks.

 

[Kevin]

I would at least wait until your item ships before canceling it. At any rate you can easily find it under the subscriptions tab under options in your Amazon account menu.

 

[rjinaz]

Now how to cancel this?

www.audible.com

Sign in with your amazon credentials. Click Account Details above where it says "Hi Your Name" with a drop menu. Click Cancel Membership.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Welp, I give up. I tried it on mobile too and still don't get the offer. That's a bummer.

 

[Josh378]

Yes, finally the BOTW hardcover book is mine!!! That book going to sell out by midnight tonight....lol!
